My 9th great grandfather, John Smith, came to New
England with his mother, Alice Barnes Smith.
She was the daughter of Thomas Barnes and Rebecca Alabaster, baptized on
6 June 1596 at St. Mary’s Parish Church in Hadleigh, Suffolk, England. She married Samuel Marryon in 1611, was
widowed and then married John Smith in 1619.
John Smith apparently died some
time before 1635 when Alice brought her son, John Smith, Jr., to Ipswich, Massachusetts. According to the records at the Hadleigh
Parish church there were four men named John Smith/Smyth buried at the church
between 1621 when John Smith was born and 1635 when he came to Ipswich.

Alice (age 40) and John (age 13) are listed as passengers
aboard The Planter with the Hasfell
family from Sudbury, Suffolk, England. The Planter left London on 10 April 1635
and arrived in Massachusetts on 7 June 1635.
Richard Haffield was granted land in Ipswich in 1635. Another new arrival, Samuel Appleton, from
Little Waldingfield (2 miles from Sudbury) was granted land in 1635, too. John Smith eventually became a tenant farmer
on Appleton’s land.

John’s son, John Smith (1654 – 1736) lived in Ipswich and
his daughter, Mary Smith (1685 – 1731) was my 7th great
grandmother. She married Thomas Andrews
in 1711 and lived her entire life in Ipswich.
Their daughter, Mary Andrews (born about 1712) married Stephen Burnham
in 1735 in Ipswich and they removed to Milford, New Hampshire. Stephen and Mary were the third and fourth
members to join the First Congregational Church in Milford, and are on the list
of the first 19 members of the church, formed in 1788.

This arrived via email from "Sam":. I noticed that you're doing research on the last name Smith. I think I have a book and a source that may help you. There's a genealogy on "Bull" Smith who founded Smithtown Long Island. He has his words in Connecticut and it was related to the PARRISH family of New England. Well actually his wife is a descendent of the John Parrish as of Massachusetts and the Winthrop fleet. Roswell Parrish wrote a genealogy on this man and his descendants. You can find it online. I know that Smith had his roots in Connecticut. The names dates and places seem to match up.I hope this helps.Sam

Would gen 2 be the marriage to Elizabeth Tisdale? I have as the source: Ellery Bicknell Crane, Historic homes and institutions and genealogical and personal memoirs of Worcester County, Massachusetts, 3 vols. (New York: Lewis Publishing Co,, 1907), Vol 2, pg 349. Of course, that source title makes me wonder if this is the right Smith.

Here's John Smith's gravestone at the Old North Burying Ground in Ipswich. I'll go by on a rainy day to clean off the lichens so we can read it. https://ipswich.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/d93_john_smith_1713.jpg

Are there any references to a Georgianna SMITH, b. about +\-1855, possibly Beverly or Salem, MA and m. to Edward H. DALTON of Salem, about 1875 in Salem. I was told she was descended from a SMITH family of Ipswich.Any information would be gratefully received!
